A Fiiir is to 1)C' lii'ld in tlic City of Pouglikce])sie, on the loth ^liiicli,
18(54, for the relief of the Sick and Wounded Soldiers of our ZS'ational
Army.

It is designed to l)e a Fair on a hirge scale. Every branch of Agriculture,
Trade, Industry and Art will be invited to contribute to it. "\Ve call on
the tarniers of the rich county of Dutchess to send in the products of
their liclds and dairies. We ask our factories, workshoi)s, mills, every
branch of trade, for a specimen of the best thing they can turn out.

We (-all ou all our loyal women for the exercise of their taste and
industry.

Every one who can produce anything that has money value will give a
sample of his work as an oftering to the cause of National Unity.

Clergymen of all denominations are earnestly I'cquested to interest their
parislies in this euterijrise. Ihe press is requested to give it wide
circulation and earnest encouragement. You are invited personally to
cooperate in it; if you cannot do so, give it the inlluence of your name or
position. We rely ou your aid, and call on all without hesitation to assist
in this benevolent work of relieving the sulTerings of our Sick and Wounded
Soldiers, who have gone forth in our defense, and to whose nolle clforts
we shall Ije indebted, under God, for the preservation of our nationality,
it should be remembered that the United States Sanitary Commission
bestows its benefactions on the Sick and Wounded of our Army and
Navy without regard to State, Rank or Color; hence it has claims on the
lilx^rality and lalior of all loyal men and women.

Two Committees, one of ladies and one of gentlemen, have been
ai)pointed, and Managers in every town in the county have been appointed
to carry out this undertaking. The ladies have engagetl a room at 861
Main street, where the receiving committee will be in attentlance to receive
all contributions, whether loans or donations. For ladies from the country
towns tables will be reserved, at which they can display and sell their
j)roductions of taste and industry. All donations will be sold at the Fair
for cash, and the avails of such sales, together with all contributions in
money, paid over to George T. Strong, Treasurer of the United States
Sanitary Commission, at New York. Contril)Utions are invited, for
temporary loan and exhibition, of Pictures, Works of Art, Trophies,
Battle Flags, Relics and ^Mementoes of the War : these will be arranged
in a room devoted to that purpose.

Flowers and Floral Designs, Greeii-liouse Plants in pots, are solicited.

Su])plies for the refreshment tables. Turkeys, Ducks, Chickens, Hams,
Tongues, Birds, Game, Oysters, — all these (except the latter) should be
carefully cooked.

Tea, Coft'i'e, Chocolate, Sugar and Cream, Cakes, Pies, Preserves, Jellies,
Jams and Fruits in Cans, Honey, Pickles, Vegetables of all Varieties,
A])i)les, Butter.

At the close of the Fair a catalogue of articles contributed, with the
names of donors, will be published.

Contributions, whether loans or donations, should be sent to the
Connnittee Rooms, 301 ]\Iain street.

Contriliutions of money should be sent to Miss Sarah M. Cari)entcr,
;{8i» Mill street. Treasurer.'

MliS. CHARLES II. RUGGLES, Secretary.

The brief space allotted to the fulfillment of this tlesi^-n, from its origin,
early in February, to its complete ami triumphant success in the middle
of March, entitle it to a place in the history of events of our time.

So suddenly was it received into favor, apparently by all hearts, that it
seemed the sp(mtaneous growth of a soil already warmed by patriotism,
and enriched with benevolence. There had been tongues eloquent in
depicting the necessities of our wounded soldiers, and the deprivations
of the sick. Cientle hands had lal)ored for them, kind oilerings had lieen
made, and active S2)irits were on the alert to awaken in tiieir behalf
renewed interest and symj)athy. At length the feeling which had for
some time been kindling in many a breast spoke out in action. On Friday.
February oth, a meeting of ladies was called at the Greg(M\Y House,
intended to include all interested in that happy organization, which, from
the commencement, augured most favorable results.

The work immediately commenced in little auxiliary circles throughout
the town. All amusements and recreations were, as far as possible,
diverted towards this oltject. Young ladies plied their nimble fingers in
crochet work, and other delicate fabrications. Gentlemen contrii)uted
towards the expense of materials, and gave their countenance to the
project.

Six w'ceks only were allotted to the comiJletion of tiie whole design.
Many shook their heads, and thought the time too short ; Init the officers
never wavered. The Secretary immediately issued her circulars. Stir-
ring, trumpet-toned words called upon all the good and noble throughout
the county to unite with this city in one broad manjfestatiim of generous
feeling towards those in arms for our defense. Managers were appointed
in every town, receiving their commissions from the. Secretary, and cordial
invitations to cooperate in the work so w'ell begun. Daily Executive
meetings were held, and weekly public ones succeeded. A gentlemen's
Advisory Committee was selected to aid in business transactions. The
building intended for the Fair was soon chosen — a large unoc-cuined
Coach Factory on JIain street being magnanimously offered, free of expense,
by the owner, ]\Iattl)ew Vassar, Esq., and gratefully accepted by the
Executive Committee.

The fitting up of the building by able hands immediately commenced.
A chaotic scene at first ensued. Sjjeedily order and comeliness were
evolved, out of rough and unshapely materials. The gigantic work, so
rapid in its jjrogress, ordained l)y sovereign female will, remindetl one of
the famous ice palace commanded so hastily into being by the great
Russian Empress in the days of Autocratic power. As surely, as speedily
as that, this fabric of ours assumed shape of lieauty and form of strength,
though not "silently as a dream;" for here were sounds of busy labor
and dust of disturbed elements; but all asserted the jjower of female
sovereignty, and the willing deference of manly courtesy which in highest
civilization yields to woman highest homage.

Meanwhile, the inner structure, the mental organization of Committees
and sub-Committees was unremittingly carried on, at the rooms ;501 Main
street. Already donations began to fiow in. At the first meeting Mrs.

10

D. J. Lossiiig coinmonft'd the suliscription list liy licr own nanio for $oO ;
others as generously followed. Bad roads and worse weather dampened
somewhat tiie enthusiasm which had been expected from the inhaliitants
of our eastern liills and plains ; Imt some did answer nobly to the call, and
few were entirely indillerent. We cannot lielp feeling, it" a little of the
same genius and energy wiiich awakened a whole county to action, ui)on
tills occasion, were exercised upon the broad tield subject to o«r National
Councils — if there were the same true steel, the same good ring of metal,
among our Generals — some quick blow might be struck, s(mie sudden
assault made, rendering less needful this female guiU'd for hospital aid
at home.

Preparations went on vigorously through the town. Schools gave
Concerts. Soiree's and Tai)leaux, bringing in large donations to the treasury.
Ladies engaged popular lecturers at their own expense, the proceeds to
be given entirely to the same object. Where so many did well it would
be invidious to particularize. The ladies who gave their time, means and
energies to the work needed no incentive of popular applause to induce
them to such efforts. Actuated by the lofty spirit of patriotism, upheld
by the bles.sed reward of doing good, their motives required no oblation
of mere hiunan praise. Tliere were some holding conspicuous positions
and gi\ing large donations, whose wisdom and benevolence could not
but be appreciated by the public. Others worked in secret, and gave
according to their means, more liberally, perhaps, than those who con-
triljuted so nobly from their wealth and abundance. Without these little
u^inoticed rills small would have been the mighty stream.

OPENING OF THE FAIK.

Tile auspicious day at length arrived — the morning of the loth of
March. Pre])arations were complete. The faithless became believing,
the wavering confirmed; for, precisely at 1 o'clock, doors were opened,
a'ld all was ready. Following the long line of carriages in the street, and
th(! th.rong of pedestrians on the sidewalk, a stranger, without inquiry,
would readily have found the road to Sanitary Hall. The building,
without, was not over-fair to view, although the gay flags gave tokens of
pr.imi-^e; Init within,

"'Twas glitterins; all and light,

A tlu'onging scene ol" ligures bright,

It glowed upon our dazzled .sight,"

even as the sudden glare of king and courtiers shone upon the astonished
vision of the fair '• Lady of the Lake." In truth, the general aspect of the
building was like a beautiful picture out of dreamland. There was such
abmidance of evergreens, in all imaginable places, as never grew inside oi'
\n\ok walls before; then there were ])ictures, curtains, mirrors and flags
innumerable; sufficient in themselves, with stars, stripes and eagles, to
have made a very respectable "Fourth of July Oration.'' Tables on the
first floor were loaded with every viand that was goodly to the eye oi*
ple;isant to the taste, while above, on the fancy floor, such a tasteful col-
lei-tion of /i{<iiitij'iiJ, r/iitnniu;/ and clcz/imt objects met the view; such
/orr^ of mafu, such jin-fert fii/ies, such darliiigx of pinciis/iions, as never
bewildered the senses of man before, especially in the good town of
Poughkeepsie; and more than all. both ui)-.<tairs and down-stairs, such
bright eyes and pink cheeks, and real Grecian head.*, surmounted with
die daintiest little caps, were seen gliding in and out of bootiis and floral
liowers, and from behind tables, beguiling poor, innt)cent, unprotected
young men out of dollars and dimes, with such fascinating grace— giving
the odor of a Ijlush to a cigar case, or the flavor of a smile to an oyster

11

stew, in such a guileless way thai the liiLrlnvayuianV tinie-hoiiwreil
(leniand, "your money or your life," was small persuasion compaicd willi
theirs. When woman "stoops to eoncpier" she is always vietorious.
Ui)on this great general principle, laid deej) in the hearts of our race,
rests the success of all Sanitary Fairs.

And so to descenil. or rather ascend, to particularize. It will lie neces-
sary, in order to souiul tiie heights and depths of this great sultject, to
commence at the tliird story and recount all the marvels to he seen from
this eminent beginning downwanl. First, then, the ujjper story was
preeminently attic. Here culminated the .Esthetic aspirations of tlic
Committee; for here was to be seen the picture gallery, exhiliited without
charge, thus permitting the fine arts to l)e accessible to all. It must be
acknowledged, the collection was small. Time had not permitted any of
those great works whiih might have been undertaken untler other
circumstances, and which there was plenty of genius in the connnunity
to have ai complished. Here let us pause, to admire the wisdom wliicli
allowed such brief space for preparation. As the great lire at Wolfs
Craig gave to its faithful servitor a potential and unvarying excuse lor
the al)sence of silver i)late, dannisk hangings, and all other valuable
furniture usually belonging to the abode of a wealthy nobleman, so -t,-.
availing ourselves of a similar apology, once for all will say that, whatever
defects nuiy be noticed in this Fair, whatever omissions there may be in
the way of grandeur and display, making it in the least to ditler from
tlie great Boston and Brooklyn Fairs, is entirely owing to want of time
Thus with the i)icture gallery : a little of the mellowing of time would
have improved it. Nevertheless, there were some very pretty pictures on
exhibition and for sale. One of Peter, the hermit, finished with great
care and study, and a fine apjjreciation of lier subject, by a young hnly of
this city, elicited many high compliments, and was well deserving of tin m
all. I'wo very pretty little country scenes, by a young lady of Amenia,
were pr. sented to the P'air, and sold (juickly. Other ladies presented
creditable productions, among which i)erhaps the most coveted was a
delicious bunch of white grapes. Mr. Saudl'ord i-^ the alile Su])eriiUcndent
of this departnu'ut.

The Museum appears next. Here are some valuable Indian reliis, auto-
grajjlis, and other curiosities. For the famous skating pond and a curious
ap])aratus for making old women young again the ladies are indebted to
>1. S. Beach. Esq. These iittract numerous visitors, and appeal especially
to the juvenile taste. On the opposite side of the gallery a huge brass
knocker, with portentous sound, announces visitors to

THE OLD DUTCHESS COUNTY KOOM.

As the Committee owe this great attraction of the upper fioor chiefly
to the joint laltors of Mr. B. J. Lossiug and M. Yassar, jr., a more detailed
account of room and furniture will lie given Ijyoneof the gentlemen most
active in its construction. As to the old families, the Van Tassels, the
Van Dcuseus, the Vanderhuydens, which held high festival here during
tlie Fair, they have gone back into their ])ortrait galleries and haunted
chambers, from which they emerged in (|uaint and anticjue costume, for a
little season, to witness the indolent habits, the free and easy manners, the
absence of witchcraft and other degeneracies of our time.

Leaving the Duchess room, we run counter to a series of mowing
macliines and other formidal)le tokens of a mechanical age, relieved by a
little pastoral touch in the shape of u huge Southdown sheej). Mr. Ceo.
Pelton earns laurels here by his successful dis])osal of farming implements
and wooden ware. "The ;/reift uunuil n/ioir" of the live .Mliuator and the

12

Barbers Shop are also successfully cried uj), on this floor, \>\ Mr. Charles
Arnold, with a zeal which would do credit to the owner of a Avhole
menagerie.

Descending- to the Fancy Hall, directly in front of us, is

THE SWISS BOOTH,
whose complete furuiture of jewelry and other adornments, with the
exception of one Afghan, was the muniticcnt donation of the President,
Mrs. James Winslow. In this booth, is to be seen and heard, the famous
Bulltinch, the smallest singing bird known, which starts out from its tiny
cage at an instant's warning, sings two cheery little songs, as though glad
to greet the light, then si)rings back to its prison, and is seen no more,
till the hour con)es around.

Crossing the Hall, we reach

THE POST OFFICE,
under the able superintendence of jMrs. Joseph Wriglit. The Postmistress
has certainly a lalmrious post, inasmuch as she must provide lovers and
lovedetters for those who have none, furnish good news whenever it is
called for, and lal)or with hand and brain when others rest.

Now appears the long array of fancy tables, broken in upon by the
classic portal of

THE FLORAL TEMPLE,

whose graceful columns, wreathed with evergreens, and cof)l marble taljles,
laden with flowers, do honor to the ladies originating the design. Mrs.
Thomas L. Davies and ]\Irs. James Emott preside over the temple ofi^er-
iugs, while si.\ fair young priestesses waft incense from flowers as the
crowd passes by.

Following the line of fancy tables, seven are noted as belonging to the
'• ('ifi/ of Po'njhh-ei'ime'' one of them bearing the name of "Cottage Hill
Seminary." The whole seven are so elegantly furnished, and superbly
ilecorated, each having some peculiar attraction of its own, that it would
be impossible to bestow distinctive commendation. Crowds of friends
and patrons thronged arounJ them all. Familiar faces appeared beside
every counter. Goods were so temjjting, and displayed, with such tact,
and good will, that if we had not emptied our purse to the first cashier
encountered, that little transaction would certainly have been accomplished
to the second, and so on around the Hall. We are proud of our City
tables. Ladies have labored diligently to adorn them with every style of
fancy work accessiijle to skill and a|)plication. The fiuer productions of
art are also upon them. Flowers whose colors will not fade. Faces that
change not by time. And the cheerful countenances everywhere met,
show that these are truly otterings of the heart to a most worthy cause.

Here, too, are our kind and taithful allies, the country towns, bringing
their treasurers from afar. Conspicuous by position, and dazzling in its
array of t)rilliant goods, welcome to the name of

FISIIKILL.
Well do we know those fertile vales, those wood-crowned hills, and the
rugged rocks upon the mountain side. The very soil to bind its children
to it with strongest love; and here with patriotic zeal, we find them, ear-
nestly aiding our common country, and our suflering brethren.

DOVER.
She, tor), is here, from the region of the Stone Church and of magnifi-
cent mountain gorges. Her (piiet secluded plains, have given time for
meditation, and the result is a literary development, for this table abounds
in l)ooks.

13

NEW IIACKENSACK,
:i near iU'iji,lil>or. has shown good neis^hborly interest, \)y rcnderhio; snb-
stantial aid to the cause, in which all are laboring. A hearty welcome,
and kind greetings to all as we pass on.

STANFORD,
a name which thrills us with memories of old days, of a home upon the
liills and distant mountain summits golden in the sunset, stands meekly
over a small table on our left. Having luit one week's notice, she too is
here.

WASHINGTON AND PAWLING,
two other great agricultural towns, rich in ihx'ks and lierds, and friendly
inhabitants, last but not least ou our list, they too are here, bringing rich
goods and pleasant faces, to complete the circuit of the fancy floor.

THE MILITARY BOOTH,
in the centre of the hall, is very attractive to gentlemen, because of the
startling costume of its ladies, and the ])eculiarly gentlemanly wares, of
which they dispose : — Tobacco, Cigars, Smoking Caps, and the like.

THE GIPSY TENT
denotes its profound wisdom, and knowledge of the future, by a signifi-
cant owl over the entrance. This tent is only occnipied at evening. We
used to believe, that gipsies prowled al)out at night, for food and gains,
l)Ut lounged in their dwellings through the day. We are glad to see that
his august majesty. King Coster the first, of Egyi)tian lineage, and Pha-
ronic dynasty, clad in his most regal garb, gathered from si.v quarters of the
globe, lias ado])tedJthe domestic habit of spending his evenings at home.

Suddenly the atmosphere seems laden with sweetness. We turn and
find ourselves in front of a small perfimicrj/ stand, tended by a pretty
lady, who apjjears to be doing a marvelous business.

I'/te littl,: old irom'ot who lives in a shoe is the presiding genius of this
part of the hall. Her dolls diminish ra])idly, and she handles s])ectacles
and snuff box to the admiration of beholders.

Descending, another flight of broad steps, we land in the midst of

THE KEFRESEMENT FLOOR.

This is under the especial superintendence of ]\rrs. Burnap, whose task
of arrangement has been laborious, and whose duties still continue to be
arduous, inasmuch as she is constantly presiding at the head of a mighty
teast. On this floor are four Poughkeeijsie, and three country tai)les,
East Fishkill, LaGrange and Ueekman. Decorations, evergreens, flags
and pictures make all the tables attractive and i^leasing. Of the Pongli-
keejjsie tables two are devoted to Oysters, Colfee and other substantial
food; the remaining two are laden with Ice Cream. Cakes and Confec-
tionary. Of course the latter achiiit more ornament, and are crowned
with aspiring pyramids. The Eagle's Nest seems enterprising and original,
and its motto. Pro Bono Militum shows that "we have not forgotten our
Latin."

(,"ountry boards are crowded with friends, whose appetites seem conve-
viently renewed every hour or two, for the sake of jjatronizing home pro-
duction. Indeed our own citizens are often found forsaking their allegi-
ance, and sitting down to a feast si)read by some alluring damsel on the
cast side of the hall.

The Treasurer's desk is situated near tlie stairway. ^^Fiss Carpenter,
with her whole heart in the success of the Fair, sits here from the opening
to the closing of the Ticket Office, performing the pleasant duty of

14

receiving donations, checks and greenbacks, depositing the same in the
Sanitary Treasury. With able assistants, she lias the entire superintend-
ence of the monetary concerns of the Fair.

The all important receiving room and the busy, bustling kitchen each
occupy a share of this floor.

THE RESTAURANT
ne.\t claims our attention. This, as is customary, occu|ues the basement.
Warm dinners are to be served here from 2 until 9 every day. Many
ladies of this city are busily engaged in preparations. The office of
waiting maid at these tables is no sinecure; but there are many here able
to dignify with grace and beauty even the unadorned region of the
Kestauraut. A party of Bank Directors are to dine at 4. It is to be
hoped that their hearts will be so opened by the good cheer as to draw
liberal checks upon their own l^anks when they ascend.

We have glanced through the l)uilduig on this its opening day. The
admission tee is lifty cents, and the house is full. 3Iany season tickets
have been sold.

Wednesday. — Rev. II. W. Beecher lectured last evening for the benefit
of the Sanitary Fair. The whole e.xpeuse was paid l)y ^h: Jas. Winslow,
and the entire proceeds, $300, have been plaeetl in the Treasury. A
thronging multitude is here to-day. Abundant sales are made. The
tables begin to abate in splendor. By evening the crowd is so dense that
fears are entertained for the safety of the Iniilding. But the go(Kl walls
stand lirm, although the sale of tickets is for a time prudently suspended.
This second evening the assets amount to $9,500, and the Fair is voted a
success.

Thi:usd.\y. — The crowd is somewhat diminished. It is possible to
move aiiout without tlanger of l)cing crushed. A little sensation is made
by a visit from the Sunday School of the Congregational Church. The
children form in front of the Treasurer's desk ; Mr. Corning makes a neat
little speech, and $150 is de})osited as the Sunday School gift.

Fkiday. — Still a busy multitude at Sanitary Ilall. Tables begin to
look faded. Sales continue at rcduceil i^rices. The Fair received a visit
to day from the children of the Home. Eastman's band continues to
tliscoursc music as often as could be expected.

Saturday. — By the wise counsels of the managers, goods left on hand
are marked so low as to ensure a sale, and prevent the greater sacrifice of
an auction. This is the last day. Ladies from the country leave their
vacant tal)les and return home. The Restaurant coalesces with the
refreshment floor. At evening a tishing pond receives the remaining
fancy articles, and fishing commences. Great merriment follows — two
shillings a fish — every one catches something on his hook. By 9 o'clock
nearly all is sold. Nothing left for an auction, except two or three pic-
tures, some frozen flowers in pots, an order for coal, and the lumber used
in the building. The Fair closes with more than $18,000 in the Treasury.

Now the busy scene is over. The joyful and ti'iumphant occasion
has passed by. As we look back upon it, with hearts full of gratitude,
some expression of thanks seems due to those who labored so zealously
from the Ijcginning towards the success of this M-orthy object. Thanks I
al)undant thanks I to the lady officers of the Fair: who devoted their
time, influence and means to the undertaking. Thanks to the gentlemen
who, in their several committees, fulfilled so well the arduous tasks they
so willingly assumed. It is the pleasant task of the historian to comniem-
morate noltle deeds. Noble was the self-sacrifice of tiiose ladies who
stejiped a century backward, to the good old time of female heroism and

15

manly darino-. to give tliis generation a living pieture of the past. If not
tiie (lust, the itnnikr of a century was certainly around them : and the dig-
nified grace, which received alike visitors of all ranks and ages, would
have i\om' honor to tlie day wiion those rich lirocades shone, perhaps,
amid the stately courtesy of a colonial court, or in the purer atnioshere oi'
our own early repuMican era. Surely spinning wheel was never so attract-
ive before, nor olycokes displayed to more a<lmiring eyes. Thanks to
those ladit's and gentlemen wlio so cordially aided in their little drama of
history.

lIoiHtv to the ladies and gentlemen who labored so faithfully in the
decoration of the fancy floor. The taste and elegance which inue adorned
many a private salon were here brought forward, for the public good and
at the call of charity. Conservatories and greenhouses were rifled of their
spring glories, to furnish the daily tlemands of the Floral Temple, and
nearly every country seat from Rlunebeck to Fishkill joined in the tribute.
I.,adies who seldom left the sanctuary of home were here seen doing honor
to tlie place and breathing their natural atmosphere of flowers. Thanks
to them, and to all. the fair matrons and gentle girls, who stood among
their tempting booths and bowers, to barter the work of their own hands,
for the meed of well doing.

Anil, as the lowlier should be more e.xalted, higher itrahw to the deni-
zens of the first floor, who stood ready to minister to the weary, faint and
hungry. The delicate waiting maids, watching with painstaking care
beside the little ta!)les, contributed no small share to the abundant pro-
ceeds of the refreshment floor. Doubtless many a young gentleman became
intoxicated over his cofi'ee, and fell to dreaming of a liome of his own
with such a fairy to guard it.

Last in the descent, but more praiseworthy still, were the ladies of the
Restaurant. No fanciful adornings nor beautiful surroundings cast a
fairy glamor ii])on their labors. Real and itrdnnns !<i'rnrfi fell to the lot of
those who condescended to these tasks, willingly 2)erforming their duties,
in order that all might be well fulfilled. Tlnoiks to thern^ ami to nil, la/lies
and gciitleiiien, at home and ahroad^ who sacrificed their time and their sub-
stance, in turn to all departments, and liberally aided in the success of all.

Thanks to the gardeners and nurserymen, who generously answered
the calls made upon them, and gave of their productions for the benefit
of the Fair. Thanks to the mechanics, artisans, merchants and trades-
men, who contributed of their labors and goods, or assisted gratuitously
in the pre2)aration of Sanitary Hall. All have done well.

This Sanitary Fair has been the spontaneous oft'ering of Duchess County.
And when w'e see what she can do with such I>ricf notice, and amid such
disadvantages of season, what may we not expect if the time ever come
when greater deeds and nobler sacrifices shall be demanded at her hands '.
The home of our fathers — the seat of colonial wisdom during the revolu-
tionary struggle, the venerable mother of noble sons and daughters— we
believe in her truth and patriotism, we rejoice in her munificent liberality.
Thanks for her aid in this benevolent eft"ort. Thanks, above all, to a kind
Providence I which tempered the rough winds of March to mildness, and
preserved the lives and liealth of all concerned. 3Iay kind and generous
thoughts follow to their homes those who met with us last week, and nuiy
the charity which looketh pleasantly upon all things bring its sweetness
to their hearts, so that every memory of this great festival shall be one of
love, and cverv thouuht a Ijlessing.

The most attractive and ino^^t jjrofitable single feature of this Fair \ra?
a •' Dutchess County Rocmi of one hundred years ago." Crowds thronged
it chiy and evening, antl for the moderate sum of ten cents admission fee,
and jifty eciits for a •"tea" in the rural style of a hundred years ago, the
receipts were very large.

The exterior of one side of a spacious house was seen. The double
door was adorned with a knocker wliieh had done service"^ one hundred
and twenty years at a mansion near Poughkee})sie. The ticket-holder
would use it, when the upper door would open and a pretty waiting maid
would appear, dressed in ancient petticoat and short gown. Sherecdved
the visitor and- his ticket and opened his way into the mansion. What a
change ! Overhead was a low ceiling witli huge ))rojecting beams, on one
of which hung a fowling piece and powder liorn at least a century old.
Before him was a huge iire-place. ornamented with old Dutch tiles, on
which, in blue color, were illustrations of Scripture history. Over the
mantel-shelf were hung silhouette likenesses, a " bull's eye" watch, etc.
I'pon it were ancient plain ilower-vases and otiier now ol)solete ornaments,
antique candlesticks, a tobacco-pouch, and a few other things; and below
it wej-e two immense Holland tobacco-pipes. On the wainscoting of the
jami) was a ■" Poor Richard's Almanack," 1774. On one side of the lire-
])lace was an ancient "corner cupboard," lillcd with antique china of all
kinds, from the small tea-cup to the s])acions punch-bowl. On the other
side was an old English clock in tall mahogany case, and a delicate el)ony
candle-stand. There was also a spinnet, the musical instrument of two
centuries ago, out of which grew the harpsichord and the piano forte.
There was a sofa brought into Dutchess County from Holland in Ifi'JO;
a)id more than a dozen old chairs of as many patterns. Two old mirrors,
one of them with candelabra attached, reflected the scenes. The walls
were hung with ancient jjictures and "samplers," some of them brought
from Holland: and upon a high shelf were about a dozen books, most of
them )jrinted in Holland and bound in vellum, and none less than a cen-
tury old. U])on a small antique tal)le lay a tine old Dutch Bible with
silver cliisps: and U[)on a peg hung a scarlet (;loak and a turkey-down
tippet, both made in the middle of the last century. A sword, with pis-
tol attached, usetl in the French and Indian war. hung on a hook ; (^n^\ in
one part of the room was a large round dining-tab e of solid mahogany,
brought from Holland at the beginning of the last century, at which
Wasiiington and many distinguished men of the Revolution had sat. The
windows were shaded with curtains which did service in the country
before the Revolution. The entire wood-woik of the a])artment v\ns of
the somber red-brown ])eculiar to old dwellings. Scarcely an article in
the room was less than one hundred ye;u-s old. Such was its '• slill life."

Most attractive of all was the family who inhabited the room during
the Fair. It was composed of ladies, some of them members of some of
the oldest families on the Hudson. They were all dressed in the costumes
of their grandmotliers or great-grandmothers— the genuine dresses, full a
hundred years old. One was seen merrily spinning on the gieat wool-
wheel ; another making thread with an ancient llax-wheel; and another,
as the mistress of the house, presided at the tea-table — the ancient one

just mentioned — Avhercon might be seen an aljimdancc of the silver, pew-
ter and cliina vessels and plates of the olden time, with the substantials
and dainties that lay on a thrifty housewile's table in those days, and the
lump of suii;ar suspended by a string, that the tea-di'inker might choose
to "stir or bite." Moving about with dignity was seen an apparent guest
of the family, in the costume of Mrs. Washiugtoa when she v.-as Martha
Custis, in 1755. Others of the family v>-erc engaged in proper duties. A
bright and stirring Dutch housekeeper preserved order in don;estii.' affairs.
Serenity was personified in the quiet demeanor of a sweet Quakeress in
her gr.uidmother's drab silk dress; while tlie aborigines were represented
by an Indian girl in full costume, wearing on her arm an emijossed silver
band, which was taken from an Indian grave on one of the Thousand
Islanils of the t:t. Lawrence. To make the group complete, in the chimney-
corner sat gray-haired Pompey in patriarchal dignity, in small-clothes and
scarlet waistcoat. Thus every ingredient of society in Dutchess County a
hundred years ago was represented.

Tlic aliovc artick's wtro all witliiu tlio old Diitclu'ss County Ronni. TIil-
list is inromnk'te, as a nuinl)er of articles wvrv VMt iTgistovod by those
who loaned tlieiii. Many articles were offered which ironi lack of s])aee
could not be accepted. A complete silver tea set that once helono-ed to
Judge Bloom, ot this county, was among the most valuable. Besides
articles of furniture, the ladies have to thank uutny for articles of ancient
dress. A curiously quilted petticoat was lent by I\Irs. Sarah Ferris, of
Quaker Hill. The Indian costume came, in part, from the western Indian
reserve in this btate; two complete antique suits were loaned by jVIrs.
Judge Vanderljilt, Flatbush, L. ].. and two others were sent from Albany.
Higu heeled and elegant shoes, buckles, shortgowns, lawn aprons, quilted
j)elticoats and other antique clothes, more than could lie used, were loaned
for the purpose of being worn in the old room, and the ladies have to
render thanks to tlieir owners i^cir the alacrity with which these time-
honored relics and heir-looms were tenderetl for the tiencfit of the Sani-
tary Fair. Nearly all of the articles used in the old room were fully a
century old, wliile some reached the age of 200 years.

3Irs. D. S. Jones was one of the ladies who presided in the " Dutchess
County Room of 100 years ago." She was dressed in ancient costume,
received the guests, and did the honors at the Dutch Tea Table. She was
assisted by Mrs. C. H. Ruggles, in a Dutch dress, who also presided at
the large wool wheel.

3Iiss Henrietta Livingston, in a rich brocade dress and liigh heeled
shoes of her great-grandmother, added much to the attractions of the
room. Mrs. Levi ]\1. Arnold, dressed as Martha Custis, presided Avith
dignity, and was much admired, while Mrs. E. Buck delighted the visitors
by her spinning on the flax wlieel. Miss Carrie Patten was quite attract-
ive in her pretty Dutch dress, and 31 rs. Franklin as a Dutch housekeeper
performed her part extremely well. Mrs. Lossing as Eunice ]Mauwec the
last of the Pequods, in full Indian costume, was perfect. Mr. and ]\Irs.
Lossing also ajipeared in the full dress of the last century, and were
greatly admired. Miss Broom wore a dress 200 years old, with high
heeled satin shoes and large paste buckles of her great-great-grandmother,
with old lace and jewels to correspond. 3Irs. Uuggles contributed to the
corner cupboard some rare old family antiquities once used by her Dutch
ancestors, among them a chiuLi vase brought to this country in the year
1070. Miss Varick appeared in a flress belonging to hertamily, 100 years
old ; and ]\Iiss Degrolt as porteress in a dress 'Jo years old. The Dutchtss
County Room v.as built and arranged by Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Lossing, and
was perfect in all respects. Mr. ^latthevv Vassar. jr.. devoted himself to
it, and aided the ladies greatly in its success.

THE "SKATiXG POND""
was located at the west end of the third story, o])posite the BtttcJt-es^
County Room of 100 years ago. To this and a collection of relics and
curiosities was assigned a space some lifteen by twenty feet. The windows
and walls, here, were decorated with An'ierican Flags and BuntinL>-,
arranged with some taste and in more profusion, while excellent paintings,
banners, uniforms, swords and fire arms, possessing historical value from
tlieir connection with the Revolution or the Rebellion were also scattered
around freely.

0.1 entering, the visitor found upon his right a large glass case com-
pletely fillef.l with rare and interesting curiosities and relics, the coutribi:-

24

tion of Benson J. Lossing, Esq. Over this was a map of the L'nitod States
iu silk needlework, so perfectly cxcjcuted that it was srenorally mistaken
for an cn,<icraving. This was executed in 1800 l)y Mrs. Cary, stili a resident
of Poughkeepsie.

Next to the case was tlie model of a cottage, its interior provided with
miniature furniture, ami its door yard with a miniature fountain of real
water, supplied by a reservoir concealed in a moss-covered castle adjoining
the house. This was the work ami contribution of Mr. Hobart Schro'der,
of Myde Park.

Near this was the Skating Pond, con.structetl under the supervision of
Mrs. E. Anthony, of Brooklyn, the 1-uly whose devotion to the cause of
the soldier induced her to ])rovide the same exhibition for the Brooklyn
and New York Fairs. A familiar illustration will be a suflicient descrip-
tion of its construction and operation. Let us suppose the sides — inside —
of a common washing tul) to be lined with ])Iates of looking glass, each
about six inches wide and extending from the rim to ihe bottom of the
tub; then put in a false bottom, arranged to revolve upon a central pin
which raises it a little above the real bottom; cover this false bottom with
ice-colored glass, put upon it some tloU figures, in skating costumes, and
S3t it in motion. By i)lacing the eyes near the rim of the tub and looking
at the retlec.ions in the mirrors on the opposite side, the visitor sees a
very perfect picture of a large Skating Pond with skatcn-s in full motion.

Not far removed fi'om this was a tal)le whereat silver coin was freely
exchanged for government currency of equal amount, ])rovided the appli-
cant would hold a certain brass ball in one hand while he removed the
coveted coin from a l)asin of water with the other.

Next was found a large assortment of mementoes of the Rebellion,
relics and mineralogical specimens "too numerous to mention," tiie surface
of a very large table being entirely covered with them.

The last, tnougli not least, of the attractions of this attractive room was

a glass case filling the space o!'a cubic yard. It contained a wind-mill, steam

engine and water wheel, which, though nuule of sugar, were in constant

motion. The sign board on the wind-mill buihliug proclaimedit to be a

"PATENT MILL FOR MAKING OLD LADIES YOUNG."

On one side was seen a number of old ladies who. having entered the
premises through the g.ite, were ofl'ering their money in payment for the
proposed transformation — one holding up for the purpose a purse of
$1,000. Two llight of stairs led, on tiie outside, to the top of the mill,
and therein, head-foremost, had been plunged one aged dame, the miller
still standing over her, pushing down a refractory limb which still pro-
jected, and, to little purpose, beat the air. At anodier point was seen an
■'intelligent contraband" shaping a pretty face with a drawing knife, and
at another a mechanic busied with some other portion of the previous
subject. Finally is seen a yard full of bewitching demoiselles, who have
been entirely through the transforming process, and seem pleased enough
with their bargains as they welcome the exit of the last-changed-oucfrom
the open iloor of the mill.

This curious work of science and art was contributed by Mr. Anderson,
the confectioner in Brooklyn, who had i)reviously exhibited it at the
Brooklyn Fair, where it was very much admired.

Oar glance through this portion of the Fair has been brief, but it is a
source of much pleasure to be able to say that visitors genemlly expressed
themselves well repaid for both money and time by glances at the reality
no less hasty than this one .vith pen and ink. A whole day might have
been profitably occupied iu examining the contents of the "Skatiiig Poud
Room."

25
THE FLORAL TE:\[PLE
ocrnpicd tlic centre of the south side of the hall. It was arrang-cd by
Jlrs. Davics, in a tasteful style, and was an object of especial attraction
durin<),- the Fair. It was suj)j)orted by columns wreathed with evergreens
and flowers, and draped with the stars and stripes. On the interior of
either side were plate glass mirrors and tal)les, on which were exhii)ited
every description of i)onquets; flowers in baskets, flowers in vases, flowers
in pots, and all the lovely family of flowers.

'/'<> Measrs. lirowii, l^cri'i/ and Ba.vter, Conimittec :

The ladies of the Dutchess County and Poughkee])sie Sanitary Fair
.accept with gratitude your very generous donation of a IJuekeye .^Iower,
and in tln! name of (Ih; suOering soldiers for whose l)enefit they are now
laboring lliey cordially thank you for this testimony f)f your own beiievo-
len<-e and patriotism, and ymr apprcciatinn df tlieii' ser\ices in the cause
1)1" our common country.

Mrs. Chas. II. RiiiCLEs, Secretary.

The thanks oJ' the ladies are due tlie Advisory Committee for appointing
the committees of gentlemen, all of whom faithfully performed the various
duties assigned them ; also, for assistance from the time of their appoint-
ment until the close of the Fair. The report of the Committee to ]Mrs
Winslow, President, contains a minute and satisfactory account of the
measures taken by tliem to aid the ladies m their preparations for the
Fair, and of donations and loans made to the Fair through them.

It is regretted that it has been necessary to limit the size of the cata-
logue (to prevent additional expense) and that the greater portion of the
report as well as other interesting documents have been omitted.

The follo\\'ing extracts from the report show the prompt and business
like manner in which the committee performed their duties :

" On the day after receiving notice of their appointment, the members
of the Advisory Committee met and at once proceeded to nominate the
committees of gentlemen to cooperate with, and aid, the managers in
carrying out their plans." The names of these committees have already
been given.

"Donations, &c. — A Friend, 2^ tons coal; Dr. Deyo, white lead;
Gillen's Express, 3 cartages ; No Name, 3 cartages ; Messrs. McKibben,
Fitchett, Hill and Lewis gave use of two horse teams, each to draw ever-
greens.

Dudley tt Thompson, Wiu. C. Arnold, Collingwood & Son, D. C. Foster,
loaned lumber for Sanitary Hall.

Prof. Eastman loaned 170 chairs and 11 large tables. Mr. Siever, table.

Mrs. Jones, of Clinton Point, ijave two loads of evergreens delivered at
Sanitary Hall.

Mr. Wm. H. jVIorris loaned 1 maboy-anv sola, 1 ulass book case, table,
desk, &c.'"

Other articles are mentioned as loans or donations, but have been in-
cluded in reports of receiving committees.

" In conclusion, the Advisory Committeee beg leave to congratulate the
ladies of the Dutchess County and Poughkeepsie Sanitary Fair Associa-
tion on the aus])icious ojK'uing and the highly satisfactory closing of the
Fair without serious accident of any kind, and with a ful.l ti'easury ; and
they would only add that, if, in the exercise of their discretionary powers,
they have in any way trenched on the prerogatives of any of the commit-
mittees of ladies, it has l)een done through ignorance and not from
design."

Wlu-n :iii_v i;reut ciuirfi.' has Iicl'Ii Ix'tbre tlie public, ami a whole com-
munity have exorted themselves; for its aclvancemeut as was the case from
the o})cnin£]j to the close of the Sanitary Fair, it is very difficult to par-
ticularize individual favors. Every assistance has been most gratefully
received, and if public notice of any name is omitted, it is to i)e lioped
tliat none will feel intentionally slighted, ft is hoped that donations of
every kind ha\e been recorded, but there nuiy have been instances in
V, hicli articles were taken ilirectly to the tables witliout having been pre-
sented to a Receiving Committee, and it was not jtossilile for them to
liave been credited uixtn any list. We make a few

SPECIAL NOTICES
of favors and donations not included in the re})ort of any committee :

The Ponghkeepsie (xas Company donated 10.000 feet of gas for the use
of Sanitary ilall.

Mr. E. B. Killey printed some notices of the Fair and some bills for use
of restaurant without charge.

Tlie Ponghkeepsie and New I'altz Ferry Company ran their boat at a
hiter hour than usual, and at ri'duced price, to accommodate \ isitors to
the Fair.

Plants and cut tlowers were received from Messrs. Bard, l)insmore.
Kelly, Boorman, Wheeler, ililler, Stuyvesant, Crosby, Buckingham, W.
A. Duvies, T. L. Davics, Curry, Hagerty, Newbold, Emott. Dow. Winslow.
Donaldson, Bech. Kent, Brinckerhoft", Vassar and Beadle.

The foUowii^g gentlemen wen! of great assistance to the Decorating
Committee at Sanitary Ibdl: John \V. Davies, Chester Freer, Henry S.
Fi-ost. L. F. MeDonahl. F. Foster, Mr. Sterling, Mr. Luddington.

Mrs. Jones, of Clinton Point, and Mrs. Colonel Livingston, of Pongh-
keepsie, furnished tlu' greens for decorating the Hall.

The different Keceiving Conunittees nu'rit particular notice for the
faithful manner in which they discharged their arduous duties.

.■Ml who attended the Fair will remember the F'loor Committee with
grateful pleasure. Better selections could not have lieen made. Ener-
getic in the performance of their innumerable duties, kind and ijolite to
all, they devoted tlieir whole time till the close of the Fair in rendering
invaluable aid where most needed, and ever aefjuitted themselves with
honoi'.

I From Uic Uaily Kagle, .\pi-il Mh, 1861. 1

The ladies wish to express their thanks to Mr. Johnston, Provost Mar-
•slial, for aid rendered them during the Fair, in procuring for them about
50,000 oysters of the best ((uality, at first cost prices, free of the charge
for freight. &c. Also, for furnishing a cook for the same at liis own
wA'ptnse.

I5v order of the President.
